We are going to the Gold Coast for a week in June, then heading to Melbourne for Mark and Jac's wedding, and someone's 40th birthday! Yay! We can get a really good deal at the Chevron Towers at Surfers. If anyone knows what that's like, or of a better, cheaper family friendly place, then please let us know! I checked the web for places like Paradise Resort and Paradise Island, and some places a bit further away that are set up for kids, but the rooms are very basic (unless you want to pay $200+ a night) and we can get a flash 2 bedroom apartment for less than they are charging. We need to book soon, as places are filling up as so many of us sun-starved Tasmanian's head up there for the Winter school holidays!

I suggest you try kids stay free or kids holidays online (just google them). I think most decent places are close to $200 a night though!
I have tried those, and lots offer cheap rates, but then you look and the cheap rates are for singles and doubles, and it's lots more for 4 of us! We can get a private, 2 br apartment with access to pools and all hotel facilities, our own laundry, kitchen and free local calls for $140 a night which I think is a bargain!
The towers look great - anywhere centra and with a pool as you Tassie's will probably swim even tho it will be Winter - brrr!
You can try for deals through the airlines for flights and accommodation - I know that Virgin do deals:)
Last minute deals online are good but you may not want to wait
P.
Thanks for that everyone! We have searched all of the above and think the best deal is at the Chevron for $140 a night and are going to book! We can't wait!!!
